1989 ‘Batmobile’ up for sale on eBay

A replica version of the 1989 Batmobile has been put on eBay with a buy it now price of $620,000 (£383,000).

The car, described as the world’s only turbine powered bat car, is being sold by its designer Casey Putsch from Putsch Racing. He said of the car:

Having a perfect reliability record, this car is ready to be enjoyed by an enthusiast who is looking for the ultimate luxury in one-upmanship. Construction is in a completely different league than both replicas and of course the movie prop cars.

The design is modelled after the Batmobile driven by Michael Keaton in the Tim Burton version of the superhero tale.
